Sam's Pita and Kabab

Yes! Finally a Place where I can get amazing Mediterranean food and great service. The whole staff was so nice. My daughter is a toddler and let’s just say we dropped food and the staff was so patient with us and even cleaned up after us. As far as the food goes… it’s now our go to for Mediterranean food. Try the Baklava both flavors are amazing , Turkish coffee is nice and strong and the meat was so fresh. It all was so good.

This is my second time here. The first time, I ordered the falafel plate with a side of Greek salad, and it was really good. This time, I had the vegetable plate, and it was absolutely delicious!! If you are vegan or plant-based, you won’t be disappointed. It’s full of flavor! I had tahini since the other sauce has yogurt. For the salad, I requested no feta cheese and added my own Follow Your Heart brand feta crumbles.

It was our first time here and it didn't disappoint at all. The owner helped us with the order and she was really friendly and helpful. Tried chicken and lamb kabob plate. Lamb was really good and juicy. Their garlic dip and Hummus was also really good. Definitely going to visit again.

Chef’s Kiss! OK, listen up! I’m back and let me tell you—this place never fails to impress! Just when I thought I’d tried every delicious item on the menu, I discovered their incredible Shawarma fries. Seriously, these fries blew me away! Imagine a harmonious blend of their special red and white sauces with a hint of buffalo and ranch flavors. It’s like chili fries on a healthier level, and they’re just pure delight. I ordered these as an appetizer to share along with a Shawarma wrap, but I barely touched my wrap because the fries were just that good! They’re an explosion of flavor that has my mouth watering just thinking about them. If you're looking for a treat, don’t hesitate!

No doubt the best kabob and people here. food amazing and fresh.

Sam Pita and Kabab is a fantastic spot for a satisfying meal. We ordered the chicken shawarma plate and the chicken kabobs plate both were tasty, hearty and very filling. The hummus was delicious and the salad paired perfectly with the balsamic vinegar. The owner was friendly and welcoming, and personally seated us at a table, which made the experience even nicer. I also noticed a steady stream of to go orders, which is always a good sign. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Definitely a place I would return to and recommend.

We have wanted to come here for a long time because we heard good reviews from friends. But one thing and another. We finally came, and this is our new favorite Kabob restaurant in the IE. The beef, chicken, and Lamb were amazing. And the side of Falafel was so tender and moist. The hummus was amazing. And the Turkish Coffee and mint tea were delightful. In addition to all that, the service is friendly and hospitable. We will be back soon.

Our first time here dinner and the food have been exceed to our expectations. All of the servers were very kind to their patrons. Lots 9f desserts and drinks. Free parking in the front amd back. We love to support family owned business. That's why Google and Yelp review doesn't lie on this restaurant.

The best Kabab I ever had specially the lamb. The flavor just burst into ur mouth and also food is halal. And their homemade mint lemonade is a must try.

I had a great experience here. The meat and bread were both really fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The Turkish coffee was strong and smooth, just the right finish after the meal. The desert was absolutely amazing, the perfect way to end everything. Overall, very fulfilling and worth every bite. I’ll definitely be coming back.

I wish I got a picture beforehand but everything was just too good to wait. I can honestly say I've never had shrimp as perfectly cooked as I had tonight in my life. The gyro was still moist and full of flavor and the salad had the perfect amount of vinaigrette to balance everything. The service was amazing and I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Definitely compliments to the chef.

We love coming to this family-owned business over the last few years. While dining indoor recently, we noticed the restaurant was very clean and appreciated the friendly staff. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. The feta fries, baklava, and both the beef and chicken shawarma were absolutely delicious! We’ll definitely keep coming back!

First time eating here today and I was absolutely amazed. Food is full of flavor and the staff is extremely friendly. l felt good spending my money in an establishment that works hard to provide a quality experience

LOVE this place. The mixed plates fantastic if you have more than one person. The chicken schwarma is sooooo tasty. The greek salad is wonderful and so is the hummus and falafel. Everytime I come here, I feel like Im at home, very family oriented restaurant. I can never leave without baklava.

My wife and I have been here several times and every time we have had a good time and the food has been delicious every time. I got the shawarma and it has to be one of the best tasting shawarmas I’ve ever had. The portion size is great. I always leave super full and satisfied. The service is great. They are very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend them and will be coming back for years to come.

OUTSTANDING! I had the vegan app. Platter- did not eat the yogurt sauce. The tabouleh was perfect. The hummus was especially creamy. They let me swap the grape leaves and rice for the jalapeno hummus and that was so good I would come just to pick some up for home. Stop here!

This place is, without question, the best Mediterranean restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Every dish bursts with fresh, vibrant flavor, and you can tell the ingredients are top quality. The seasoning is spot‑on, the portions generous, and the presentation beautiful without trying too hard. The staff makes the experience even better; friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. If you love Mediterranean food or even if you’re trying it for the first time; this place sets the standard.

Ordered the family tray which comes with Gyro, chicken, beef, salad, hummus and bread. A great value and good portion size. Order was ready within 10-15min fresh and still hot when we unpacked at home.

Ordered here for the first time today and got takeout. Food was fresh and absolutely delicious! My son and I loved the chicken shawarma and rice platter, husband loved his beef shawarma wrap. The lemon cake was perfect, not too sweet, light and airy. Will definitely be coming back

Stacy

So happy I randomly found this place. Talk about a delicious flavor explosion! The chicken shawarma was delicious. I also had a small Greek salad that was so flavorful as well. Some of the BEST hummus I’ve ever had. So creamy! Best part was the staff was so nice and inviting. Definitely recommend this place!
